Anxiety

Anxiety is the subjectively feelings of dread over anticipated events and it is different from fear. Clinical anxiety is a group of mental disorders with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) being the most common (approximately 22% of primary care attendances for anxiety are classed as GAD). Overall, there is a lifetime prevalence rate of 4-7%. Anxiety can be caused by a number of factors typically classified as environmental surroundings and genetic.

In the past few decades anxiety research has significantly increased. In 2000 there were approximately 430 trials looking at anxiety and by 2015 to over 1,000. This has allowed medical professionals to develop and improve accurate diagnosis and treatments in patients suffering from the condition.

Premedication for anxiety in adult day surgery. BACKGROUND: Surgery is increasingly performed on a day-case basis. Many patients are anxious pre-operatively and might benefit from pharmacological anxiolysis. Drugs are sometimes not used, however, for fear of delaying discharge from hospital.

SEARCH STRATEGY: Trials were identified (...) by computerised searches of the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, by checking the reference lists of trials and review articles, by hand-searching three main anaesthesia journals and by contacting five researchers active in the field and the Product Information departments of the manufacturers of five commonly used premedicants. SELECTION CRITERIA: All randomised controlled trials comparing an anxiolytic drug(s) with placebo before general anaesthesia in adult day case surgical patients
